  Much Better Than Expected!

  A friend of mine bought the Nikon version of this product and he was very satisfied, so, even after I read the last few reviews on this product, I decided to buy anyway. What I received was the best price/solution for Sony Cameras and Flash Units anywhere! Right out of the box, all receivers and transmitters worked flawlessly. I have the Sony Alpha A900 and 3 Sony HVL-F58AM Flash Units. I Synced all of the flash units with my camera and mounted all the Cowboy Studio units - and everything worked perfectly. I can reliably shoot up to 30feet from camera (with transmitter) to flash units (with receivers) and I have not yet missed a single shot! Also, the customer service from Cowboy Studio is Excellent. I called the staff at Cowboy Studio and they took the time to answer all of my questions. If you are looking for a mobile lighting set-up, using Sony HVL-F58AM flash units, this product will deliver! 5/5 Shon (Boston, MA United States) - See all my reviews This review is from: Cowboystudio NPT-04, 4 Channel Wireless Hot Shoe Flash Trigger Receiver for Sony Alpha Digital lSLR Camera and Sony Flash (Camera) A friend of mine bought the Nikon version of this product and he was very satisfied, so, even after I read the last few reviews on this product, I decided to buy anyway.

  First wireless triggers I've used - works great

  Not wanting to purchase pockwizards due to the steep price, I opted for this product instead. I'm glad I did since they work fantastic at 1/10 the price.Works with no issues on my Sony a850.I am also using this on an a55, and the camera does suffer from a "black screen" issue when any wireless trigger is mounted on the body, making it impossible to frame the subject. (Sony says this is normal and the camera was not intended for the studio setting.) The work around I found is to keep the flash up and dial flash compensation to absolute minimum. (This minimizes light from the body and keeps the screen from blacking out) If complete elimination of onboard flash is desired you can always obstruct the light with electrical tape or your hand when firing. I also use a hotshoe extension cord because the trigger does push a little on the flash when it is up.Finally, the receiving units have an added bonus of having a built in umbrella holder... 5/5 Christopher J.

  The trigger works fine with my A330, range is decent. I would recommend if looking for a basic trigger.

  For Sony Alpha Flash? No!

  For an item listed as compatible with Sony Alpha flash shoe this was a real disappointment. The transmitter is for the Sony Camera but the receiver will only accept a standard ISO flash, not a Sony flash! I feel this was a little misleading in the listing. I am shopping now for an adapter to convert the receiver to accept a Sony flash, but that is not a particularly easy attachment to find. 2/5 Robert W.

  Sony A77 camera + older Canon flash = success!

  I spent a lot of money on a Canon flash a few years ago, but I recently purchases a Sony A77 camera.The problem is that the Sony has some lame propriety hood connector for flash. That's fine if I want to go out and spend hundreds on a Sony flash that will only work with Sony cameras.So, I purchased this product so I could use my standard flash unit with my Sony camera. It works great!It isn't too big and looks professional on the camera. I'll try to take some shots of the unit and post it here. 5/5 Tom N (San Francisco, CA USA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Remote for Sony Alpha 55

  I am very happy with this remote, does everything I require and then some, love the ability to change the channel it operates on as I do a lot of shoots where there can be 10-30 people using remotes and recommend this one to all those that are not using cable remotes and are on the same channel as someone else. The only complaint well I wouldn't exactly rate it as a complaint, is that it is described as a remote FOR the Alpha range but should be described as SUITS Alpha range as when the reciever is fitted to the Alpha it is in effect fitted in what appears to be an upside down position on the flash hotshoe, whereas on the Canon it sits right way up, and is easy to change the channel on the fly, but on the Alpha it needs to be removed to change the channel, so it is more a cosmetic thing 4/5 Chris G - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)

  Does a great job.

  They have performed flawlessly. Great range and battery life. I have shot from at least 200 feet away and though multiple obstructions. Zero misfires in several hours of usage. If Amazon allowed I might give these 4.5 stars only because of build quality. They are well built but by no means would I say they are durable.

  Great deal

  These work just fine with all my flashes (except the Sigma 530's, but that is not the fault of the triggers--the Sigma just doesn't work with wireless triggers). Triggers every time on my other units and at a good range. Although I haven't made a point of testing their maximum range.Anyways, these are awesome for the price. 5/5 Dustin "The Rokkorphile" (Somewhere in Asia) - See all my reviews This review is from: RainbowImaging Soldier TF-373 Wireless Grouping Flash Trigger Control for Sony Cameras & flashes (1 Transmitter + 2 Receivers) (Electronics) These work just fine with all my flashes (except the Sigma 530's, but that is not the fault of the triggers--the Sigma just doesn't work with wireless triggers).

  Seagull SYK-6 Flash Slave Trigger Wireless Hot Shoe Sync Adapter by cowboystudio

  Rating (9 reviews):

  (3.7/5)

  

  works but needs an extra step

  So when I first bought this slave, similar to the last reviewer it didn't work. I have an a700 which has a PC socket so I connect my strobe to the PC socket via a cable and fire the Sony HVL F42 with the on-camera flash. However, my old alpha 100 doesn't have a PC socket so I had to get a hot shoe adapter with a socket where I could connect the cable from my strobe. With the adapter on the hot shoe of the camera, I was unable to open the pop-up flash to trigger the HVL f42 (off camera Sony flashes can only be triggered by the on-camera flash because they only respond the IR signal the camera flash sends them). I couldn't use the external flash and my strobe with my a100 at the same time. Then I found this little optical slave. I thought if I could connect my strobe to the camera via the hot shoe adapter and have the strobe trigger the external flash then that would work, for $7 I wasn't losing anything (especially because wireless transmitter/receiver sets cost about 5 times as much)... 5/5 A.

  Works as advertised, but not with the Sony NEX cameras

  The unit does trigger my flashes - so I'll give it points for working as advertised. However, for buyers that are unaware, this unit is not compatible with any cameras that are unable to disable the preflash for metering. The Sony Nex cameras flash twice, once to meter the scene - second to take the shot. The unit triggers during the metering stage, and does not contribute light to the actual shot. As of now, it is impossible to disable the preflash on the Nex line of cameras. 4/5 Christopher J. Jurado (Oahu Hawai'i) - See all my reviews, February 5, 2011

TTL works absolutely great, TTL HSS works absolutely great, Manual works absolutely great as well as Manual HSS.

I suggest calling them, although, when I DID call them I got an answering machine (yes, like... and answering machine).

  These are what you want.

  Wireless triggers come in two types, the super cheap generic ones and the crazy expensive PocketWizards. These trigger/receivers are excellent and work great. They are much better than the cheap ones I've tried and so far just as good as the PocketWizards I've tried. Range is not a big issue for me, I've not hit the limit of these Cowboy Studio ones. Honestly, if you exceed the range on these you better be finding a bigger light source than the Speedlight your probably trying to trigger. The wireless is pretty robust as well, I triggered strobes with these through two walls with no problem. The build quality is better than the generic guys but maybe a hair less than the PocketWizards. Doesn't matter though you can buy yourself about 10 of these for the price of two PocketWizards. So break them, loose them, blow 'em up or whatever and never worry about it. They're built well enough to not give you false pops too.

I will do more extensive testing this weekend.Simple directions for first time wireless trigger users:*Camera Flash mode must be set to manual*Flash (sb600/800/900) must also be set to manual mode'Also if you are in between shots and find that the flash does not fire I think it's because it goes into a standby mode.

  If you cant afford a pocket wizard get this

  I have about 6 older but very good minolta flash units for my sony A700 and I really cant afford 2 good strobes that I want and I cant afford 3 to 4 pocket wizards either so this was the next best thing. There are even cheaper triggers but this one is cheap but not cheap to the point were its garbage. It feels like it will last a long time if your gentle with your gear as I am. I loved it so much I got 2 more, so now I have three and I will be getting one more just in case. I can get 4 of these for less than the price of just one set of pocket wizards. The range is wonderful. I was able to trigger the flash in every room in my house from the second floor to the basement and from a cross the street so am very happy. They also support wake mode so when my flash goes on stand by it wakes up the flash. This is a wonderful item and is highly recommended. 4/5 D.

  works fine but

  i got this for sony alpha 580 mainly to trigger other brand flashes like canon and nikon where you have to have the other mont receivers (not sony hot shoe)Pros- works good no miss fires- triggers other brand flashes by using other receivers like Pixel Soldier TF371 for canon flashes- Wake-up function wakes compatible flashes from sleep mode- Transmitter can control A, B and C groups individually with 7 different flash combinations- receivers comes with cable and sticky holders to connect to studio lightscons- Max Syncs speed is only 1/200 with my sony alpha 580. even with sony FM 58 flash where the belt in wireless can work with the FM58 in HSS full speed without the trigger- the triggers stick's hard to the camera hot shoe where there is not release latch or button and you have to force it out and you may break it in the process, you may tape the secure lock on the trigger but that would make the trigger little lose on the... 3/5 M.

  Exactly what I wanted!

  Just recieved this product in the mail a couple hours ago and my husband told me put the camera away and go to bed. The possibilities of a flash with the "wireless" is gonna help my business so much more. It did exactly what I need it to do. Gave me a good range and works great with my Nikon D5000!What a great investment!I'd reccommend to anyone for both outside and studio shooting, easy set up and even came with batteries! 5/5 KABS - See all my reviews This review is from: RainbowImaging TF-373 Soldier Wireless Grouping Flash Trigger Control for Sony Cameras & flashes (Electronics) Just recieved this product in the mail a couple hours ago and my husband told me put the camera away and go to bed.
